Going to Detroit. What to do before the Lions game?

[J. David Wannyheimer]

Does the NFL determine which games can be shown where or is it up to the local affiliate? Because it almost seems like the NFL is colluding with DirecTV to get more subscribers by making the local affiliates show the games no one wants just so the will sign-up for Sunday Ticket. Maybe that's just Tinfoil hat talk, but it does "seem" like it.

It's my understanding that the NFL has rules that they want TV stations to follow on which games they show. In other words, the NFL strongly suggests that the TV affiliates carry 'regional action.'

I think individual stations can choose to carry other games, though.

in my defense i think i had 12 of those 20 ounce aluminums before i walked out there...should have known when he put me in the front seat with no seat belt and a walkie talkie for a radio that something was up...

He should try something less dangerous like BASE jumping off of skyscrapers

I've been to Detroit a few times for games, it ain't that bad . Mind your business stay away from the known bad areas you'll be fine. I'm also going to the game this weekend with my wife. greektown is a good place to grab some lunch

You drank those Budweisers out of an aluminum bottle?

I take it back. You deserved it.

bud light...the gold standard of beers...if it had been draft i'd have deserved it

i honestly think the only reason i didnt get killed was cause i gave him like $2200...his eyes lit up like saucers when i emptied my pockets

Bad decision making appears to be a problem for you overall.

Lemme guess, afterwards you went to McDonalds and had the "gold standard of hamburgers."

So basically just avoid the city all together? Got it!
